Monastery of Saint Clare, Religious monastery in Canals, Spain

The Monastery of Saint Clare features stone walls, cloistered gardens, and a central chapel dedicated to contemplative religious practices.

The monastery became a center of Franciscan spiritual life in the region following the establishment of Poor Clare communities across Spain in the 13th century.

The monastery maintains traditional practices of the Poor Clares, including daily prayers, communal living, and adherence to principles of simplicity.

The monastery complex includes living quarters for nuns, meditation spaces, and areas where the community engages in religious ceremonies throughout the year.

The structure contains architectural elements that reflect both medieval religious design and regional Spanish construction methods of its time period.
